Land of the Crane Glossary Land of the Crane Glossary The following is a simple glossary of Tsurukoku terms. The words “samurai”, “ninja” and “shogun” are used as English loanwords and thus not included in this glossary. Purist’s note: although Japanese is used as the basis for the language in Land of the Crane, some liberties have been taken and some meanings stretched to fit the context of a fantasy land inspired by, but not identical to, the Japan of history, myth and legend.

  • Shigisan Engi Shigisan Engi Overview
    Shigisan engi Shigisan engi Overview I. The Shigisan engi or Legends of the Temple on Mount Shigi consists of three handscrolls. Scroll 1 is commonly called “The Flying Granary,” Scroll 2 “The Exorcism of the Engi Emperor,” and Scroll 3 “The Story of the Nun.” These scrolls are a pictorial presentation of three legends handed down among the common people. These legends appear under the title “Shinano no kuni no hijiri no koto” (The Sage of Shinano Province) in both the Uji sh¯ui monogatari (Tales from Uji) and the Umezawa version of the Kohon setsuwash¯u (Collection of Ancient Legends). Since these two versions of the legends are quite similar, one is assumed to be based on the other. The Kohon setsuwash¯u ver- sion is written largely in kana, the phonetic script, with few Chinese characters and is very close to the text of the Shigisan engi handscrolls. Thus, it seems likely that there is a deep connection between the Shigisan engi and the Kohon setsuwash¯u; one was probably the basis for the other. “The Flying Granary,” Scroll 1 of the Shigisan engi, lacks the textual portion, which has probably been lost. As that suggests, the Shigisan engi have not come down to us in their original form. The Shigisan Ch¯ogosonshiji Temple owns the Shigisan engi, and the lid of the box in which the scrolls were stored lists two other documents, the Taishigun no maki (Army of Prince Sh¯otoku-taishi) and notes to that scroll, in addition to the titles of the three scrolls.

  • Maqueta Def. Nueva
    L ARTE INTEGRADO EN LA BATALLA. ESTUDIO TECNOLÓGICO PREVIO A LA RESTAURACIÓN E DE CINCO ARMADURAS JAPONESAS DEL MUSEO DEL EJÉRCITO DE TOLEDO MARTA PLAZA BELTRÁN // JORGE RIVAS LÓPEZ1 Departamento de Pintura-Restauración. Universidad Complutense de Madrid Abstract: Throughout the eighteenth century the Chinoiserie style spread among the European courts. Based on Chinese and Japanese models, it was reflected both in painting and in architecture, as well as in decorative and textile arts. During this period many oriental items were imported from the Far East in order to decorate palaces and mansions. This was a determining factor for the increment of exotic art collecting, like Japanese lacquerware and Chinese porcelain. Samurai armours represent an exceptional example, which are veritable masterpieces made with remarkable complexity and using a great variety of materials. The main purpose of this article is to show the results prior to the intervention on the restoration of the collection of Japanese ar- mours belonging to the Army Museum in Toledo, Spain. In this way, a formal and symbolic analysis of the different elements involved in these sets will be exposed, as well as the most applied artistic technique to de- corate them: the Japanese lacquer. Key words: armour / samurai / artistic techniques / lacquer. Resumen: A lo largo del siglo XVIII la moda Chinoiserie se difundió entre las cortes europeas. Basada en mo- delos chinos y japoneses, la veremos reflejada tanto en la pintura como en la arquitectura, las artes decorativas o el arte textil. Durante este periodo se importaron numerosos objetos de Extremo Oriente con destino a los palacios y casas señoriales, factor determinante en el auge del coleccionismo de piezas de arte exótico, como las lacas japonesas y la porcelana china.

  • Japanese Costume
    JAPANESE COSTUME BY HELEN C. GUNSAULUS Assistant Curator of Japanese Ethnology FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY CHICAGO 1923 Field Museum of Natural History DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY Chicago, 1923 Leaflet Number 12 Japanese Costume Though European influence is strongly marked in many of the costumes seen today in the larger sea- coast cities of Japan, there is fortunately little change to be noted in the dress of the people of the interior, even the old court costumes are worn at a few formal functions and ceremonies in the palace. From the careful scrutinizing of certain prints, particularly those known as surimono, a good idea may be gained of the appearance of all classes of people prior to the in- troduction of foreign civilization. A special selection of these prints (Series II), chosen with this idea in mind, may be viewed each year in Field Museum in Gunsaulus Hall (Room 30, Second Floor) from April 1st to July 1st at which time it is succeeded by another selection. Since surimono were cards of greeting exchanged by the more highly educated classes of Japan, many times the figures portrayed are those known through the history and literature of the country, and as such they show forth the costumes worn by historical char- acters whose lives date back several centuries. Scenes from daily life during the years between 1760 and 1860, that period just preceding the opening up of the coun- try when surimono had their vogue, also decorate these cards and thus depict the garments worn by the great middle class and the military ( samurai ) class, the ma- jority of whose descendents still cling to the national costume.
